Hi, sorry for bad english ;)

Do not use Windows Standart driver.

Load and install native driver for ATI

Just to add to this.  I can edit, compile and run my old programs with the new version with no problems, however, I have tried to create a new program and I get no gfx either.

As a test, I had my friend bring his laptop around and installed it on his, and I cannot see any gfx on that either, but my old progs and samples from glbasic run, can be edited and seem to compile fine.

So it seems that its a problem creating new, not compiling old.

Any ideas??

I've created at least three programs (win 7) that run fine and were created from scratch in v8.xxx, so it definitely works as it should. Are you sure the paths are correct and/or that you are including the underscore ("_") where there is a space in the name, as this is now required (for building XCODE apps IIRC).

Make sure that you are putting your media in the correct .app folder (one with underscore, if it is used).

Dont forget that the program is created in the .app directory, and any graphics should go either their or in the correct place.

I am embarrased to say....but i thought it was only fair that after hinting at a bug, and then finding out I am an absolute goon who forgets a vital "SHOWSCREEN" command, that I let you all know.

Something about wood and trees springs to mind  :-[

Suprisingly enough, everything works fine now

Ha Ha :)

We've all done similar/sillier things, I'm sure!

Glad it's sorted.
